show my ass
to people
in the street
because I
have nothing
to do now.

A gab with two soldiers at a border, between two countries whose brothers know how to fight well. And rest. Their weddings will be like a closet full of coats in a country full of deserts and no camels, mountains, only fountains with rusty rocks, coats of the finest sheep’s hair, and pretty, the ladies love the pretty.
I begin to tell you about the time I talked with two soldiers, at a border, between two countries, and already the sun is gone, behind a cloud, waiting for your answer. Will you marry me? I think. Therefore, I am alone. I wanted you. Because you loved me first. Before Jupiter. Before the birches behind my back yard. Because moms and dads don’t know how to love their kids in the same way. Before that.
And then, the soldiers were killed by a bomb, set off by an old woman carrying her shoes in her hand. Why did she do it? Carry them like soft fish, a wet secret she wanted everyone made akin to. I want to laugh. This is my secret. I want everyone to laugh, to smile and say, "How are you? I’ve missed you. Welcome, brother."

I’ve taken:
I don’t know how many
walks
around the campus;
looked for girls to enjoy,
trying
to kill the time between
working
the rest of the day.
I
can’t handle the wait
tomorrow brings; to
empty
slots off my daily plan.
No more
dependable pay.
